Just to reiterate: upvoting an article does not mean "I agree". It means that it's interesting.

If I see a well-written and interesting article that may not be correct, I'm likely to upvote it. Why? Well, I want to read an interesting discussion about it: perhaps its premise is wrong, but I'm not equipped to answer so I want to farm it out to the HN reader base.



That DOES seem to be the right way to use upvotes. Surface the interesting content for comment and debate.
